Germany's No.7 seed proves too strong for unseeded Brit Johanna Konta, setting up a final clash with Serena Williams.
Angelique Kerber will face No.1 seed and defending champion Serena Williams in her first major final, having ended the fairytale run of unseeded Brit Johanna Konta, 7-5 6-2 at Rod Laver Arena.
Kerber proved too steady from the baseline, committing just 11 unforced errors to Konta's 36 during the clash that lasted one hour and 22 minutes.
The German No.7 seed's relief and joy was palpable after she closed out the match but she must now prepare for the daunting task of unseating the reigning champion, who was ruthless in beating No.4 seed Agnieszka Radwanska 6-0 6-4 in the earlier semifinal.
